Odaily News: After a 9-month silence, the X account of renowned artist and Pepe creator Matt Furie became active again in early August, posting content and contract addresses related to HOODRAT, DORK, and BOYZ within a single week. Most of these posts were subsequently deleted. On August 9, the account posted a statement claiming it had been hacked, stating it does not endorse any altcoins, and adding that a relevant notice had previously appeared on its official website. On-chain analyst @StandartXBT noted that after the HOODRAT-related post was published, the token's market cap surged briefly before the price declined; following the DORK deployment, the deployer completed bundled purchases, removed liquidity, and sold off, extracting significant ETH profits from the initial raise. @StandartXBT discovered through web archives that Matt Furie's official website had not previously contained such a notice, and no prior trace was found on the X platform, casting doubt on the credibility of the statement.
According to Yonhap News Agency, Samsung Electronics and Japanese carrier NTT DoCoMo announced that the jointly developed "user-customized communication quality optimization technology" based on AI wireless network (AI-RAN) has been successfully verified. The technology learns user movement paths and service usage patterns through AI, predicts the risk of network quality degradation in advance, and automatically switches to the optimal frequency band and network configuration, achieving a stable experience in scenarios such as seamless HD video streaming. In simulation verification on NTT DoCoMo's commercial network and 5G test network, the frequency of service transmission speed degradation decreased from 13.1% to 7.2%, a reduction of nearly half.
According to Specter monitoring, over $7.9 million was stolen from wallets associated with Coinsbuy on Ethereum and TRON, and the attackers subsequently laundered the funds into XMR through exchanges. Coinsbuy stated that, with the support of ChangeNOW, it has successfully frozen stolen funds amounting to up to six figures. Following the incident, Coinsbuy temporarily suspended deposit and withdrawal services, which have now resumed.

Polymarket data shows that the probability of the CLARITY Act becoming law by December 31 stands at 21%, with related contract trading volume exceeding $5.5 million as of August 9. Galaxy Research had previously lowered its expectation for the bill's passage in 2026 from 50% to 30%. On August 8, the U.S. Senate filed a motion to invoke cloture on the motion to advance the bill, but no full chamber vote was held. Senators will return on September 14, and per procedural rules, the first cloture vote is scheduled for September 15. The CLARITY Act aims to delineate the regulatory authority of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) over digital assets. Senate negotiations still involve three unresolved issues: ethics enforcement, illicit financial activity provisions, and stablecoin yield. The bill will need 60 votes to overcome a filibuster.
Odaily News: After forking at block height 961632, the BIP-110 minority chain has only mined two blocks, 961632 and 961633, and has since stalled due to inheriting Bitcoin's difficulty of approximately 127.48 trillion while receiving extremely low SHA-256d hash power. Pre-fork miner support was approximately 0% to 2.6%. BIP-110 supporters are discussing replacing the proof-of-work algorithm to break free from reliance on Bitcoin miners and SHA-256d hash power. Luke Dashjr has proposed selecting the final algorithm from a shortlist of candidates through a deterministic random process, with options under discussion including RandomX, KT256, BLAKE3, Scrypt, as well as CPU and GPU mining. No PoW changes have been enabled or approved yet, no algorithm has been selected or activation height announced, and Bitcoin Knots has not committed to adjusting the PoW. Relevant experimental code has been ported to the recent Bitcoin Knots codebase, but the BIP-110 minority chain has still not resumed block production.
Odaily News: The BIP-110-supporting Bitcoin minority fork chain split at block height 961,632, and stalled after mining only 2 blocks in approximately 8 hours. It is now over 80 blocks behind the Bitcoin mainnet. The fork chain inherited Bitcoin's current difficulty, but only approximately 2.53% of recent blocks signaled support for BIP-110, far below the 55% activation threshold required to avoid a fork. Bitcoin only adjusts difficulty every 2,016 blocks, and based on current hash rate, it is estimated that this chain would need approximately 350 days to complete its next adjustment. BIP-110 proposes to temporarily prohibit the inscription of non-financial data such as images and text in Bitcoin transactions. Michael Saylor stated that approximately 99.85% of Bitcoin's hash power remains on the mainnet; since both chains accept identical transactions, transactions on the minority chain could potentially be replayed onto the Bitcoin mainnet.
Odaily Odaily News: Bitcoin Core developer Murch has proposed on the X platform to remove Luke Dashjr from the position of BIP editor. Murch stated that Luke Dashjr was involved in BIP-110 and accused him of inconsistently exercising editorial authority, including assigning a BIP number to the proposal ahead of schedule, as well as rapidly merging updates despite his limited contributions to BIP editor work in recent years. Murch also noted issues regarding "trust, communication, and coordination" between Luke Dashjr and other BIP editors, and argued that his support for controversial soft forks that could potentially evolve into hard forks represents a "complete departure from the Bitcoin development ecosystem."
Odaily News: Grayscale Head of Research Zach Pandl said that even if the Digital Asset Market Structure Clarity Act (CLARITY Act) is not passed, the operation of major blockchains, demand for Bitcoin as a store of value, and growth of stablecoin payments will not be immediately affected. Regulators will fill regulatory gaps through rulemaking. Zach Pandl noted that the lack of comprehensive market structure legislation could dampen new investment activity in the US, prompting crypto industry participants and startups to move to overseas jurisdictions with clearer regulatory frameworks. The US government will continue to support the development of the crypto ecosystem. Strategy co-founder and Executive Chairman Michael Saylor previously stated that regardless of whether the CLARITY Act is passed, Bitcoin will continue to develop, but the US needs regulatory clarity for digital assets. Senator Bernie Moreno said that Senate Democrats and Republicans have concluded related negotiations, and a vote will follow.
Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of digital asset treasury company Strategy, posted a Bitcoin holding chart on X on August 9, with the caption "Doing Business." Strategy holds 842,138 Bitcoin on its books, valued at approximately $55 billion as of the morning of August 9. Since June 22, the company has disclosed four sales but no purchases. The Strategy chart shows its average Bitcoin cost basis is $75,653 per coin, with unrealized losses of approximately $9.051 billion. The Strategy dashboard shows that as of 10:06 that day, total reserves including $4 billion in cash stood at $5.889 billion, with the Bitcoin portion valued at approximately $54.9 billion and an average cost basis of $75,419 per coin. On August 3, Strategy filed a document with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) disclosing the sale of 1,638 Bitcoin from July 27 to August 2, with a transaction amount of approximately $104.73 million and an average price of $63,957 per coin. The company also sold 2,225, 1,363, and 32 Bitcoin on July 6, June 30, and June 1, respectively, and repurchased 912,143 shares of STRC for $81.2 million.
Odaily News – Hyperliquid's RWA perpetual contract trading is growing rapidly, yet platform revenue continues to decline, creating a divergence of "record-high trading volume versus shrinking retained revenue." Data shows that Hyperliquid's open interest climbed to approximately $11 billion on July 13, hitting a new high for 2026, with perpetual contract trading volume over the past 30 days nearing $178 billion, and its share of global perpetual open interest rising to around 9%. Meanwhile, Hyperliquid's protocol revenue has declined for four consecutive quarters, dropping from roughly $357 million in Q3 2025 to about $202 million in Q2 2026, down approximately 43% from its peak.Analysts attribute this primarily to the HIP-3 mechanism, which allows external developers staking 500,000 HYPE to create their own perpetual markets and earn up to 50% of trading fees. In early 2026, developer-deployed markets accounted for only about 2% of Hyperliquid's perpetual trading volume; that figure has now risen to roughly half, meaning an increasing share of trading revenue is being distributed to external developers.Since approximately 97% of Hyperliquid's trading fees are used to buy back HYPE, the decline in platform revenue directly translates to shrinking buyback scale. As of Friday, HYPE was trading at around $55, down about 28% from its all-time high of roughly $77 on June 16. Meanwhile, core contributors unlocked nearly 10 million HYPE on August 6, valued at approximately $550 million at then-prevailing prices, with subsequent unlock schedules continuing through 2027.Overall, Hyperliquid's trading activity is still growing rapidly, but the revenue diversion caused by HIP-3 is weakening the platform's own earnings growth and HYPE buyback support. The boom in its RWA business has yet to fully translate into earnings growth for HYPE holders. (CoinDesk)

比特币财库公司 Strategy 创始人兼执行主席 Michael Saylor 再次发布比特币 Tracker 相关信息，根据此前规律，Strategy 通常在相关消息发布后的第二天披露比特币持仓变动信息。
Odaily Odaily News: Ansem posted on platform X that he is starting a trading tracking campaign around PUMP, planning to hold from the current cycle bottom all the way to the market top. Ansem stated that his initial position in $PUMP was around $0.001675, and he will now update his trading progress around $0.002544, with plans to continue tracking it to historical highs and beyond. His investment thesis mainly includes: Pump.fun is one of the top three platforms in the crypto industry by revenue, holding approximately $2 billion in cash reserves. However, due to market bias against the tokenization model, its current circulating market cap is around $1 billion, corresponding to a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of under 2.8x.Ansem believes that as on-chain activity continues to grow, especially with the further adoption of mobile applications, Pump.fun will be a key beneficiary. If more retail users participate in new token launches through platforms like Ansem's in the future, $PUMP could see even greater growth potential. He predicts that PUMP has a chance to enter the top 10 crypto assets by market cap within the next two years.
Odaily News: Software company Strategy holds nearly 850,000 Bitcoin, valued at just over $50 billion, with some recent purchases funded through debt and stock issuance. Since Michael Saylor shifted the company toward Bitcoin accumulation in 2020, his wealth has fluctuated with Bitcoin's price. Michael Saylor stated that last year, with the aid of an AI chatbot, he earned $15 billion through the company's Bitcoin-backed preferred stock. Strategy's STRC offers an annual dividend yield of 12%, with its price recently recovering to near $100 after dipping to around $75 in late June. Over the past year, Strategy's common stock value has fallen by approximately 80% alongside Bitcoin's price decline. The company recently sold some of its Bitcoin holdings to manage debt and dividend commitments, and has built a $4 billion cash reserve, providing roughly two years of funding support before subsequent financing. Michael Saylor also mentioned that in May of last year, he used ChatGPT's deep research mode to design the company's convertible preferred stock product.
Odaily Odaily News Bitcoin News stated on the X platform that, aside from Roughnecks, PyBLOCK—one of the largest Bitcoin mining pools supporting BIP-110—has indicated that it has been advised to pause signaling for BIP-110 until further notice. PyBLOCK stated that it will continue mining "completely clean blocks with zero junk information," consistent with its practices prior to BIP-110. Roughnecks confirmed the suspension, saying, "Yes, temporarily paused. BIP-110 is not over, but mining under the current algorithm is mostly a waste. More updates will follow."
Odaily News: South Africa's National Treasury and the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) have released draft rules on cross-border transfers of crypto assets. Farzam Ehsani, co-founder and CEO of crypto exchange VALR, stated that without significant amendments to key provisions, the framework could harm the country's digital asset industry and drive capital offshore. The draft rules allow individual residents to transfer crypto assets abroad within existing foreign exchange limits but restrict corporates from conducting cross-border crypto transactions, while also classifying certain inbound transfers from private, non-custodial self-hosted wallets as unacceptable transfers for local crypto asset service providers (CASPs). Ehsani believes this could push both businesses and retail users toward overseas platforms. Ehsani noted that prohibiting regulated entities from handling legitimate corporate transactions—particularly cross-border stablecoin payments—could drive such activity underground or offshore, ultimately undermining the transaction visibility and monitoring capabilities regulators aim to achieve. South Africa's National Treasury and SARB have opened a public consultation period, with feedback due by September 30.
Odaily News BIP-110 has sparked community controversy over its attempt to restrict non-financial data storage on the Bitcoin blockchain. Supporters of this proposal plan to push for the rule change through a User-Activated Soft Fork (UASF), but current miner support is far from meeting the activation requirements. The market is watching whether this controversy will further escalate into a split within Bitcoin's network governance.Blockstream CEO Adam Back criticized the arguments of BIP-110 supporters in a post on the X platform, stating that the claim "Bitcoin supports spam data" is incorrect and noting that all Bitcoin participants dislike network spam. Adam Back pointed out that Bitcoin cannot achieve absolute censorship at the mathematical level, and the BIP-110 proposal itself has numerous flaws that prevent it from functioning effectively, which is why it has not gained network consensus. He emphasized that forcibly pushing rule changes without consensus could ultimately lead to a fork outcome similar to Bitcoin SV (BSV).
According to Cointelegraph, BTCPay Server has temporarily restricted public remote connections to Lightning Network nodes due to attackers exploiting a critical vulnerability in LND (Lightning Network Daemon) to steal node credentials and transfer funds. Version 2.4.2 has upgraded to LND 0.21.1 and automatically rotates macaroon credentials in standard installations. The project team reminds operators to check for abnormal payments, channel closures, and balance changes as soon as possible; if nodes are exposed via self-built reverse proxies, Tor services, or port forwarding, relevant credentials must also be manually replaced. Currently, Foundation and Citadel21 have reported node fund losses, but the specific scale of losses has not yet been disclosed.
